is this the poser dj forum? talking about numark and pioneer turntables? ive spun everything you can think of, and ive retired my 1200s for stanton t120. its a better, heavier, stronger deck. the str8 is just a 1200 style t120. techincs are dope, and the standard, but it doesnt make them the best...anymore.

@PegasusRPG hey man...unfortunately its again me, and i am again asking you something concerning the stuff we already discussed about. I am again torn between the Numark TTX USB and the Stanton Str8-150 (or ST 150 whatever) -.- Both got their freakin advantages man. I got the the chance to get a Numark TTX USB for 350€ and a Stanton starting at 399€... what would you say ?!

I was confused on what turntables would be good for me, and these look amazing... I was debating on denon hs 5500 but realized they are pretty crap for scratching. How much is this set up (not including the records), just the tables and mixer w coffin cases

[PegasusRPG]

@lambofgod94 Right. USB connection makes the ins and outs available to the computer.

[lambofgod94]

@PegasusRPG And the Ebox i am connecting to the computer by using a USB to the Ebox Output?

[PegasusRPG]

@lambofgod94 Not quite. The TTs would go straight to the Ebox inputs. The Ebox outputs would go to the analog mixer. Then in Mixxx, you would set the Ebox channels as outputs for Deck 1 and Deck 2, and its inputs for Deck 1 and Deck 2 vinyl control. See the Mixxx wiki for more information on that. Using time code records basically just turns your turntables into controllers.

[lambofgod94]

@PegasusRPG Okay, so 1 Mixer, 2x TTs, Charging the 2 TTs to the mixer, the Mixer to the Electrix Box by using the Inputs, the Outputs connecting to the computer, putting the Switch on "Phono", putting the SSL Control Records on the 2x TTs, and applying the Mixxx DJ Software to the Electrix Ebox-44 Device and then everything should work with timecode?

[PegasusRPG]

@lambofgod94 The Electrix Ebox-44 is a good 4-in and4-out audio interface for $99. I would also recommend SSL control records and Mixxx DJ software (v1.10 has improved vinyl control.) If you're on Linux, check out xwax.

@PegasusRPG Hm yeah i was just wondering if there is any problem with the sound or quality of it when using 2 different arms! thx so far. I know what ya mean by midi controller the point is, that i got quite some vinyls which i wanna play oldskool some time on the other hand i wanna have the possibility to also use timecode. IS there a cheap and good audio controller that you can recommend me ? is there anything else i would need then (except for TC Vinyl and Traktor/VDJ/DJ Desk)?

[PegasusRPG]

@lambofgod94 No problem having one of each if that works for you. The time code works over the audio lines so you will still need an audio interface to hook the turntables through. However, it doesn't have to have phono inputs since the ST(R8)-150s can output line level. But if you're going to get into computer DJing soon, I would look at getting a MIDI controller instead of turntables.

[lambofgod94]

@PegasusRPG Thanks for the answers so far but i ve a few more if i aint annoying ya. First of all, Is there a problem if i would be havin one Stanton STR8-150 and one ST-150 ? or is better to have two with the same arms ? Second of all concerning timecode. I am having a Behringer DDM4000 Mixer with midi plugin, so i can connect it to my computer via Midi-USB Cable, do i still need a in between Interface to use Timecode or is that implied with the fact that the mixer is already a midi interface ?
